Geez, what a strange week last week was. Healthwise, that is.
Whatever hit me wasn’t textbook. I had the headache, I had the fever (I couldn’t find my regular thermometer so I used the basal thermometer I used way back when I was trying to get pregnant; it only goes to 100° ), I don’t know how high it really was. My stomach was the worst. I didn’t feel like I was going to puke or anything like that, it was just upset all of the time and a couple of days all I had to eat was cereal in the morning (I use a bowl that holds a cup) and Saltine crackers. I wasn’t hungry at all, nothing sounded good and I didn’t want to eat.
Friday, we had chiro appointments so we went to dinner after that, Home Town Buffett. I had a salad, a small one, a muffin, a little piece of pizza, half a slice of garlic bread and a piece of rotisserie chicken breast, which I peeled the skin off of. Then I had a little bowl of peach cobbler with soft serve ice cream on top. I only ate half of that. I can’t believe how full I felt.
We go to breakfast yesterday morning, I had sweet potato pancakes with scrambled eggs and two slices of bacon. I doubt I had a full cup of coffee and a couple of bites of eggs, all of the pancakes and all of the bacon. That was it until about eight thirty last night, when I had two slices of cheese cut in half on Saltines. I’ve had lots of water to drink.
This morning, my stomach was feeling much better. So, I had my little bowl of cereal, brushed my teeth, braided my hair, then left for Wal-Mart. I have a lot of baking to do and I figured I’d see if they had any of the stuff I needed. They had some, then I went over to the Vons (Safeway) in the same center and got the rest of what I needed. Plus some other stuff.
I needed more white chocolate chips (melt white chocolate chips in the microwave, add some Rice Krispies and Spanish Redskin peanuts, drop onto a sheet and let firm up; it’s a really rich tasting treat and so easy to make), some peanut butter chips and brown sugar. I ended up spending $185.00 (well, not really, I used the Club card and the total was under $120.00). Came home, unpacked, unwound.
Then it was time for lunch so I drove down to Jack in the Box for a chicken fajita pita with salsa. I really like those. I thought if I had something decent in my belly, I’d be less inclined to nibble as I bake.
I am glad that I’m feeling better. The baking must get done. (I hand this stuff out to the various folks who help keep our lives running smoothly.)
